I can't find the torque spec for the fuel pump and the power steering pump in my shop manual. Can some one post up the specs for me?

thanks
Tim

There is no torque spec. Fuel pump bolts can go tight as you think with a 3/8" rachet, but if you feel the aluminum threads in the timing cover go, back off. Snug is good. The P/S bolts can go to 35 ft/lbs if they're 3/8" bolts, yo've got steel bolts in iron heads there, you'll twist the bolt in two before the head threads let go.
